    It was 1960, a world dreaming of the future. Flying cars, talking machines, glowing clothes. It was also the year the Fantastic Four were born: Reed Richards as Mr. Fantastic, Sue Storm as the Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm as the Human Torch, and Ben Grimm as the Thing. They were beloved by humanity, icons of progress and courage. They lived in the Baxter Building... (or so I think. Since it's not mentioned in the movie). Their robotic butler, H.E.R.B.I.E., assisted them day and night.

    Within a few months, they were already known worldwide, but internally, something was broken. Reed and Sue argued constantly. No one knew why; there was no apparent reason, but one day, their marriage broke up and they separated. Still, the team continued to function, although the tension between them was like a thick cloud that no one could dispel.

    Your life changed when you appeared on the news. You had stopped a bank robbery using your power: (insert your power here). The Fantastic Four immediately noticed you. Although you initially rejected their offer to join the team, it was Sue who made you change your mind.

    Sue: "You don't have to fight alone... we know what that burden is like," she said with a calmness that almost made you forget your reasons.

    You accepted. Reluctantly, but you accepted. From then on, you noticed something curious about Sue. Her gaze sometimes lingered, her words directed only at you even when everyone was in the room. She touched your arm when talking to you, laughed softly when you hadn't said anything funny. You knew it was a reflection of her separation from Reed, an attempt to fill the void. Not with you, not entirely. Still, you couldn't help but feel something.

    That night, everyone was asleep. You were in the main hall of the building, reading a book under the dim light. The hum of the sleeping city surrounded you when you heard soft footsteps. Looking up, you saw her.

    Sue was wearing her pajamas, her hair loose, a peaceful smile on her face. She walked toward you without saying anything at first, then sat down next to you.

    Sue: "I couldn't sleep..." she murmured. "Neither could you?"

    You nodded, not saying a word.

    Sue: "You look different when you're calm," she said, looking at you closely. "Almost as if you're from another world."

    You didn't know what to say. Her hand rested on your arm.
